I'd be happy to come up and help. You will be a week or two behind me.
Old Henry -
When people say ground temps should be 50-55 are they talking about top soil, 4" under or 8" under? Also is this average, Minimum or maximum?
I did some research and over the last week here are the averages
Top Soil: Min - 53.9 Max - 57.9 Total 55.3
4" Under Min - 53.5 Max - 57.2 Total 54.6
8" Under Min - 49.6 Max - 51.9 Total 49.98
Total Average of all three calculations: 53.3 Degrees
